Question about madsad

[tenxxx]

Ive had some big stones bounce off my Mad steed and no breakage.
When I wrecked a bike 3 years ago and went flying over the front, my right toe hit the wind shield and broke it.
That was a hit from behind so it don't count.
My toe nail (shield) came off a week later.

All the F18 talk got me exited even though technically Maverick and Goose were in an F14. F6B to the danger zone?

VaBob - Happy to help you with any info I might have on deciding on height. It does depend on which saddle you're using, your height, inseam (which gives an idea of the ratio of your upper body length) and of course your personal preference on where the shield lives in your field of view.

I think I mentioned it in another thread on these shields here in the site, but I'm on the stock saddle (with a beaded cover), am 6'1" and 32 inch inseam...so I'm a bit long in the torso. That said, the manufacturer site recommended the 15" shield for 6'1" to 6'3", and that's what I bought. Works great. At full up, there's almost no wind at all. Full down, it's breezy but no buffeting.

Cheers!

I love my Angry Stad, switched from the 15" to the 11" still no buffeting, great folks to deal with.

The guide says I should use a 17, got one and it was too tall, did a return/swap and got a 13, it was perfect. Put a taller seat and helibars so ordered a 15 and now have both. At 6'2 I look over it a good bit but the air flow it still well over my head, even the 13 still works good. I can still duck down behind it if I have to run in the rain without my full face. Being able to replace or add another size is low cost after you have the base shield. Plus with the base dark and the taller clear it still looks good and really tall shields don't in my opinion. After many miles it is holding up well, no scratches or discoloring.

I had a Mad sad on my super tenere and now my F6B. No buffeting. Love it.
